Rapid Medchart Rollout Delivers Seamless eMEDS Solution

Northern Beaches Hospital – Sydney, Australia

In 2019, with a focus on improving patient safety and medication management, the project team at Northern Beaches Hospital (NBH) began an important phase in the hospital’s digital journey: the implementation of electronic medications (eMeds).

Electronic medication management is integral to New South Wales Health’s digital health strategy. The top priority with an eMeds solution was to reduce medication errors – an all-too-common source of incidents in hospitals – through electronic prescribing, supply, administration, clinical and pharmacy review and medication reconciliation. The MedChart eMeds solution achieves this by improving prescription legibility, providing sophisticated dosage calculation and complex infusions functionality and incorporating best practice clinical decision support available to clinicians at the point of patient care.

WITHIN 18 MONTHS, THE COST OF IMPLEMENTATION HAD BEEN EFFECTIVELY COVERED BY THE SAVINGS MADE THROUGH REDUCTION IN POTENTIAL ADVERSE MEDICATION EVENTS
